Build this from junk laying around. all it is is pvc pipe plugs, A adjustable air regulator, and some rubber tubing. Tubing and fitting I am using is used in the fountain beverage system but any pressure type hose and brass fittings will work. Just drill proper hole in caps, thread it, put fitting in and hook hose to it. Pressurize to 10 psi or less and use soap bubbles to find any leak. WARNING do not go over 10 psi. I tried at 25 psi and had fitting blow out and hit me. I was extremely luck.Any of you building a intercooler system need to do this. You will be surprized how many leaks you find. And since air is measured at vam any air leak will cause running and performance problems.
